Page 8: Chapter 1 Introduction
Introduction Purpose and Function The Bird 4043 Series Directional Power Sensors are digital power sensors. The 4043 Series power sensors are typically used to measure forward and reflected average power on a 50 ohm RF transmission line with a maximum 500 watt forward and maximum 50 watt reflected power levels in a frequency band with an overall range of 144 to 940 MHz. -
Page 9: Chapter 2 Serial Communication Model
Chapter 2 Serial Communication Model The 4043 Sensors with an RS-485 serial bus are designed to transfer data to and from a CPM. The serial bus also serves as the power sensor’s power supply. Each sensor is equipped with two RJ-25 jacks for serial communications, RF input and output connectors, and a status indicator. -

Page 12: Chapter 3 Bluetooth Communication Model
Model The 4043 Sensors with Bluetooth communications interface are designed to connect to the Bird RF Meter App. Once connected, measurement data is transfered to the RF Meter App, the RF Meter App will display the current sensor measurements in numerical and graphical displays. For the sensor to function it must have batteries installed or an external power source connected. - Page 13 Bluetooth Communication Model The following power sources provide the required power to the Bluetooth 4043 sensor: Internal Batteries (customer supplied) - Power may be supplied by three AAA batteries. See "Bluetooth Power Sources" on page 8 DC power supply (12 VDC nominal (7-18 VDC), minimum 50 mA) to RJ25 - Power may be supplied from an external DC power supply through the RJ-25 jack.
